When lingering or reoccurring issues arise they create within us a dissatisfaction about life and how we feel about ourselves. Issues such as relationship difficulties, addictions, career, life transitions, parenting, depression, anxiety, stress, body image, negative beliefs and thoughts, emotional overwhelm, aggression, low energy, impulsivity etc. can affect your self esteem and your ability to think clearly and solve problems effectively. Learning new skills, building on resilience and resources and dealing with past issues that affect your present life can be empowering and create satisfaction and fulfilment in your life.
I offer a safe space where we work collaboratively in exploring your thoughts, feelings and behaviours relating to the issues to understand your full experience. With my expertise and guidance you will gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of yourself and your situation to make informed choices based in the present and not past conditioning.
It's often daunting and anxiety provoking seeking help yet, the alternative will keep you stuck in your old patterns and structures that stop you from living life fully. Please visit my website for more about me and if you feel I can help you to achieve your goals please make an appointment. Alternatively, you can contact me via phone call.
